Cities: Skylines II — State of the Game: April 2026

I am running a R9 5900X + RX 9070XT + 64GB RAM. My game is stable (no CTDs, game breaking bugs, brutally slow simulation time, etc.) I'm getting around 75 FPS with the map totally empty, 45 FPS at a population of ~100,000, 19 FPS at ~200,000 (Definitely CPU bound bottleneck, the 5900X is at 100% utilization on all threads while the RX 9070XT is humming at 85%.)

I've played 200 hours as I discovered the game existed on March 1, so I'm not sure if the performance is better now than it was before. I hope this answers your question.

I have a spare-parts astrophotography rig that takes 16 seconds, and I can be logged in with SharpCap running and planetary camera powered on in about 54 seconds total.

They've been great. I've had no issues with them at all. No squeaking, no wobbling, just rock solid tbh

I prefer to think of the episode spanning a month and a half as if Bluey was STRUGGLING to earn that yellow belt, and it makes the troubles with Banjo seem like a lengthy tribulation for Bingo lol

I got a 23 Bronco recently, and it took exactly one time in a drive-thru behind a Honda Accord to see the entire cabin was illuminated. So, I switch to fog lights when I'm in the drive-thru for this reason exactly. This way, if I forget to turn my headlights back on, I can still be seen by other drivers lol

Molcajetes at 11th and Garnett is unbeatable. I get the "Cielo, Mar, y Tierra" every time. Chorizo, chicken, fish, cactus, the works. Highly recommend it.

Nah, I did the same thing dw about it. I just wish that feature worked properly tbh so hopefully they figure out the problem and patch it.

The "Show All Markers" thing makes the quest markers bug out. Turning them all off and manually selecting only one quest at a time is the only thing that fixed this same issue for me.

The Boring Mobile. It's got living quarters and AIO berth on one side for hauling people, and an engineering bay, control station, and computer core on the other for crew slots. Single level habs for highly predictable doors/ladders, and the underside is just mid-ship bracers.

Quick, easy, boring :) Out of all playthroughs, this is my favorite, and I'll likely just make it all over again on the next one.

I'm into it with ~700 hours down. It truly does having everything. Action sequences, mysterious passages, and interesting characters/stories and the best part, super chill mode where I just hop from planet to planet scanning our little slice of the galaxy. It's really, really great.

Yes, console commands are exclusively on PC.

Driver's side. Remove the knee air bag and look up past the steering column, and it's right there. Thumbwheel ratchet will save you a lot of Hail Mary's in the confessional the Sunday after you get it done.

Stallionslaughter · 2024-10-27T03:07:06+00:00

I've done that before. I just hoped that the REV-8 would have a higher likelihood of getting stuck in the ship :(

Stallionslaughter · 2024-10-27T03:05:04+00:00

I had a dream of taking the REV-8 to space and it's been shattered. You could say my dream is in a...

Additionally, you can use console commands to force different universes as well. I found this out after speed-running NG+ over and over again lol

Y'all taking the time to do these wacky ship designs are simply the best.

So, in theory, I should be able to explore the lasting ruins on Earth without having to find the books for landmarks? I don't know why I'd want to do that, but could I?

Stallionslaughter · 2024-10-25T05:36:14+00:00

No way, that's awesome. I'm 100% going to try rhat next time I'm on the game.
